Logical fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of an argument. In argumentative writing, the presence of logical fallacies such fallacies shows either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. The purpose of the study is to identify and discuss logical fallacies in the argumentative writing of Indonesian EFL learners. 40 argumentative essays were collected from the students of the English Department of the State University of Malang who have passed all the writing courses, including the course on argumentative writing. The results of the study shows that students still produced a number of logical fallacies in their work, some of which were so basic they can actually be avoided through simple, explicit instruction. Some pedagogical implications of the findings are also discussed.

English teaching in the 21st century needs to also address learners’ successful engagement with a global milieu in intercultural settings, which remains challenging for many EFL teachers worldwide. It was evidenced by a number of studies showing that EFL teachers are not well-prepared to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL classrooms. It becomes crucial to find out the possible causes of their unpreparedness to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL lessons. This study was carried out to record Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ perceived understandings of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and their practice implementing the ICC elements during their teaching practicum program. It employed a survey using an electronic questionnaire consisting of 31 items. The study involved 106 participants consisting of both the alumni and the undergraduate students of ELT program from six different universities in Indonesia. The results from the questionnaire were then complemented with the results of the interview obtained from selected participants. The findings showed that the participants demonstrated excellent understanding of ICC elements; yet, they did not frequently implement ICC-related teaching activities in EFL teaching. The minimal integration of intercultural teaching was possibly due to some external factors such as restricted time, curriculum, and students’ different proficiency.

Abstract: Plagiarism cases have increasingly occurred, especially in higher education, and Universitas Negeri Malang is one of universities in Indonesia that concerns about plagiarism cases. However, there are only a few studies concerning plagiarism that have been conducted in Universitas Negeri Malang. As EFL learners, ELT students are more likely to be exposed to plagiarism issues and might have committed plagiarism either intentionally or unintentionally. In order to prevent unexpected attitudes that may lead to plagiarism cases, this study used surveys to investigate the ELT students’ attitudes towards plagiarism in writing argumentative essays in terms of their behavioral, normative, and control beliefs. The subjects of the study were ELT students who were taking an Argumentative Writing course. The findings show that the majority of the ELT students have unfavorable attitudes towards plagiarism in writing argumentative essays. Even though some students show favorable attitudes and tend to approve plagiarism issues in certain situations, this study has confirmed that the students have generally understood about plagiarism, and they tend to perform unintentional plagiarism rather than intentional plagiarism. The favorable attitudes found in this study are mostly caused by the unclear information and policies concerning plagiarism, and the students’ competence in writing. Keywords: ELT students, attitudes, plagiarism, argumentative essays Abstrak: Kasus plagiarisme telah semakin marak, terutama di dunia pendidikan tinggi. Sebagai pelajar Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL), mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris (ELT) mungkin pernah melakukan tindak plagiarisme baik secara sengaja maupun tidak disengaja. Untuk mencegah sikap tidak terduga yang bisa mengarah pada masalah plagiarisme, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi sikap mahasiswa ELT terhadap plagiarisme dalam menulis esai argumentatif dalam aspek sikap, normatif, dan kepercayaan kontrol. Penelitian ini menggunakan survei sebagai rancangan penelitian. Subyek penelitian adalah mahasiswa ELT yang sedang mengambil mata kuliah Argumentative Essay selama masa pengambilan data. Tiga aspek yang diukur dalam penelitian ini didasari oleh Teori Perilaku Terencana milik Ajzen dan Fishbein (1993). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa ELT tidak mendukung adanya plagiarisme dalam menulis esai argumentatif. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa sikap mendukung terhadap plagiarisme bisa disebabkan oleh informasi dan peraturan mengenai plagiarisme yang tidak jelas, dan kompetensi mahasiswa dalam menulis. Meskipun beberapa mahasiswa menunjukkan sikap mendukung dan cenderung menyetujui masalah plagiarisme di situasi tertentu, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa secara umum mahasiswa telah memahami plagiarisme, dan mahasiswa yang menunjukkan sikap mendukung cenderung melakukan tindak plagiarisme secara tidak sengaja.

Critical thinking is essential to be acquired by today's generation specifically since it is one of the skills in the 21st-century skills. Considering its importance, developing students' high-order thinking skills has become a requirement for teachers, specifically in their language learning. This study investigates an EFL teacher's strategies in promoting students' high-order thinking skills and the challenges they face in implementing it. A case study was conducted involving one junior high school teacher in Jember. The interview and classroom observation were conducted to collect the data. The data was analyzed by classifying the strategy used by the teacher using Hennessy et al.'s Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis and specifying the challenges faced by them through an interview. The findings of this study indicated that most strategies used by the teacher were to invite elaboration or reasoning. The challenge encountered by the teacher was the difficulties in teaching HOTS for low achiever students, difficulties in managing passive students in the classroom, and difficulties in constructing HOTS strategy in some skills in English. Therefore, more strategies to actively engage student participation in the classroom and good classroom management are needed to extend students’ high-order thinking skills.

Student participation and student motivation are pivotal efforts to optimize student learning outcomes, particularly in English achievement. This research aimed to ascertain the correlation between student participation (X1) and student motivation (X2) with English achievement (Y) among the twelfth science 3 graders of SMA Negeri 4 Malang. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational research design, the study quantitatively describes the extent to which these variables are related. The subjects of this research comprised 32 students. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire and student achievement documentation. The data analysis utilized the Azwar 2012 formula and the SPSS 23 version software. The results indicated that the F achievement value was 3.470, while the F table value at n=29 with a significance error of 0.05 was 3.33. This finding suggests that the F achievement value is higher than the F table value (F achievement > F table), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Thus, the research concludes that student participation and motivation significantly contribute to improving students' English achievement. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of fostering an engaging and motivating classroom environment to enhance students' language skills. Active student participation not only reflects their interest in the subject matter but also encourages a more dynamic and interactive learning process. Similarly, motivation serves as a driving force that propels students to strive for better performance and achievement. By understanding and leveraging these factors, educators can implement strategies that better support students' academic growth and proficiency in English. This research provides valuable insights for educational practitioners aiming to improve English learning outcomes through targeted interventions that boost student engagement and motivation.
